Hey, I want to improve my balance in the saddle and I was told by a friend that I should ride for short periods bareback and walk, trot and canter. Eventually, challenge myself to poles and cavalettis. But I have also been told that, before you ride bareback, you should do no stirrup work first...

I recently started galloping bareback and this is a pretty huge accomplishment for me, since I taught myself to ride and I only ride without saddle on a stubborn little buckskin mare lol. Lmk what you can do bareback!

My horse has shark fin withers. We should rename him "Jaws". One day I would love to ride bareback on him, but I wince when I look at his high withers! Which bareback pad would you suggest? Is there a difference between the western style pads and the english ones? He's never used western tack...

Hey, I’d love to get critique on this short little ride my instructor filmed. I’ve trotted bareback many, many times, but I’d like to know what I could do better. Thanks! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h2dWxrFUyDFtUDVqU7LvSN3hkNY2sIay/view?usp=drivesdk

I usually do not go bareback riding unless i am in a hurry. I don't even know if bareback riding feels good to my horse. Thats why i want to know if bareback riding is comfortable for a horse. TIA

Hello! I am getting back into riding after 20ish years off :) so, I am pretty much a beginner rider. I recently bought the Ultra ThinLine Comfort Bareback Saddle Pad after reading so many great reviews. Problem is, I feel very unstable with it on, like there is too much padding and it's...

Some months ago I rode bareback on a bony horse (I think it was underweight) during my riding lesson. I had reservations beforehand and tried to convince my riding instructor to use a saddle or a different horse but she would not listen and I thought well she ought to know. I was not comfortable...

I've been riding my mare for four months now and I'm noticing a trend in her behavior, she's more relaxed and responsive when I ride her bareback vs with a saddle. She listens to all of my cues and responds immediately. When I saddle her she's fussy and inattentive. Example: I ask for a simple...

Saw this video and thought I would share - Cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2F5EzY48HA

I just recently learned that some people are able to do "tackless riding" on a horse with absolutely no tack on. I saw this video of a girl on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2F5EzY48HA Is she doing it right? Does it take a special horse to do this? How do you train the horse? I am...

I'm about sick of this routine by now. My adopted TWH mare, Jubilee, is 12 years old and has been both a show horse and broodmare. After getting her in shape nutritionally, my sister and I started trying to progress in riding her. This is what I find strange... - Jubilee is perfectly...

I do bareback ride a lot, but i have troubles staying on the horse when loping. What are some ways that can help me to staying on my mare while riding bareback?

I rode Angel for the first time today! My BO was doing a trail ride with 9 horses and suggested that I walk Angel along so she can get used to being in groups and on trails again. Things started off badly because she was uncomfortable at the back of the group. I wanted to move ahead with her...

I have just recently started jumping bareback (the cross rails I did before don't really count cause the horse just canters them like a pole) and I am having trouble holding my "2-point" (jumping position) for the duration of the jump. Any tips?:grin::think:

Not the silly little pictures of you being ignorant and putting your horses' hooves on your heads, hearts, stomachs, laying down underneath them and just general 'omg y r u doing this' poses that you think are so cool, when all they are is really dangerous, and frankly stupid (being an...
